Hello! I believe the answer is x = 320 ?
Here's how I got this :

Since 16 = x/20, why don't we multiply 16(20)? That way, we figure out what you divided by 20 to get 16.

16 (20) = 320

320/16 = 20 and 320/20 = 16!

A basketball player is shooting a basketball toward the net. The height, in feet, of the ball t seconds after the shot is modele

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

Yes, between 0.84 seconds and 0.85 seconds after the shot is launched.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{The equation for ball height} : 6+30\cdot t-16\cdot t^{2}\\\text{The equation for shot blocker's height} : 9+25\cdot t-16\cdot t^{2}$

But, the shot is made before two tenths of a second or 0.2 seconds therefore modified equation for ball height is :

$6+30\cdot (t-0.2)-16\cdot (t-0.2)^{2}$

Now for the shot to be blocked,the height of shot blocker must be greater than the height of the ball which is shot before 0.2 seconds :

$\implies 9+25\cdot t-16\cdot t^{2}\geq 6+30\cdot (t-0.2)-16\cdot (t-0.2)^{2}\\\implies 9+25\cdot t-16\cdot t^{2}\geq 6+30\cdot t-6-16\cdot (t^{2}-0.4\cdot t+0.04)\\\implies9+25\cdot t-16\cdot t^{2}\geq 30\cdot t-16\cdot t^{2}+6.4\cdot t-0.64\\\implies 9+25\cdot t\geq 36.4\cdot t-0.64\\\implies 9.64\geq 11.4\cdot t\\\\\implies t\leq \frac{9.64}{11.4}\approx 0.846$

Hence, the shot was blocked between 0.84 and 0.85 seconds after the shot is launched.

A tailor cuts a piece of thread One-half of an inch long from a piece Nine-sixteenths of an inch long. What is the length of the

lukranit [14]

Answer:

The length of the remaining piece of thread is $\frac{1}{16}.$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A tailor cuts a piece of thread One-half of an inch long from a piece Nine-sixteenths of an inch long.

Now, to find the length of the remaining piece of thread.

Total thread = $\frac{9}{16} \ inch.$

Tailor cuts a piece of thread = $\frac{1}{2}\ inch.$

Now, to get the length of the remaining piece of thread by subtracting tailor cuts a piece of thread from the total thread:

$\frac{9}{16} -\frac{1}{2} \\\\=\frac{9-8}{16} \\\\=\frac{1}{16}$

Therefore, the length of the remaining piece of thread is $\frac{1}{16}.$

Gia got some books from Library yesterday she got five books today Gia returned three books Gia has six books how many books did

makvit [3.9K]

Answer: 4

Explanation:

You can write an algebraic expression to represent the sequence with the books in this way:

yesterday she got five books: 5
today returned three books: - 3
how many books did Gia have to begin: n
At the end she has six books, which means that you can set an equality:

n + 5 - 3 = 6

Now you follow these steps to clear the unknown:

do the operations in the left side: n + 2 = 6
use subtraction property of equality: n = 6 - 2
do the operations: n = 4

And that is the number of books whith which Gina started: 4
